This Was : The Jalpaiguri Club
Sunset over the Teesta River
Three Friends
These are pictures I took on a visit to Jalpaiguri town. This town came up when tea was planted in the region in the nineteenth century. It was almost destroyed when the Teesta River flooded it in 1968. Businesses moved out and relocated to Siliguri. Jalpaiguri is still the headquarters of the district administration, and the 'official' quarter of the town is full of colonial buildings. The Teesta flows to its south now, behind an embankment.
This is my SkyWatch Friday entry this week.
See other people's skies from all over the world!

Jalpaiguri. I recall hearing this name when I landed in Bagdogra on my way to Kalimpong for onward journey during my trip to Sikkim. Interesting to read about it. You've got some fabulous photographs here!
